The President of the United States welcome a leader wanted by the ICC and officially endorsed ethnic cleansing.

Now would be a good time for our government to defend international law.

If they won’t say it, we will: Palestinians aren’t going anywhere.

I can’t describe this storm of emotions—joy, tears, scenes of families reuniting, finally returning home. For every Palestinian, for Gaza, this moment is just breathtaking.🕊️❤️

Israel put everything they could into ethnically cleansing the north of the Gaza Strip. The simple act of Palestinians returning home is a massive loss for Israel.

Worth noting that Biden also wanted to facilitate the ethnic cleansing of Gaza. Most of the Jordanians I interviewed at all levels at the time always thought this was the endgame of the Abraham Accords paradigm...

The point is that if we are serious about countering the fascist onslaught, we must take responsibility if we are in a position to shape public discourse and reflect on what has gone wrong

This situation is as much if not more our failure than the far right's success

This is the bare minimum
